GPSBabel isn't the perfect
tool for all jobs and doesn't try to pretend that it is. Here's a
collection of related tools.

A number of tools are Powered by GPSBabel to use our powerful
GPS communications facilities, filtering, and format conversions.

Geocaching

Geocaching Swiss Army Knife is a Windows program that specializes in manipulating geocache
data. GSAK is a very full-featured program. It uses GPSBabel for
USB/serial and most export formats.

MacCaching is a native,
full featured, Geocache manager for OS X. Caches are organized into
"Cachelists" much like mp3s and "playlists." Paperless caching with
an iPod is also supported. It uses GPSBabel for all GPS interfacing
and file import/exports.

Mapping Tools

Google Earth uses GPSBabel for all GPS communications and several file imports.

Quantum GIS is a free Geographic
Information System (GIS) built for Linux/Unix. It supports raster,
database, and vector formats (including GPX). It can use GPSBabel
to transfer data to and from GPS devices and to import GPS data
from formats other than GPX.

Le Petit Poucet is
software to display and edit GPS routes and tracks in a 3D
scene.

Gmap4, an enhanced Google Map viewer, uses GPSBabel to convert GPX and TPO files to KML prior to displaying them on the map.

Online Tools

GPSLog Labs let's you map and graph your running, riding, hiking and much more. It uses GPSBabel to support almost any GPS logging device and and to automatically classify and process your activity.

Here are other tools that perform tasks similar to what we do:

EasyMPS is a
tool that is similar in goal, but has a more focused scope. It is a
Windows program that converts and merges geocaching.com loc, gpx,
and Garmin Mapsource files.
The author of this program has helped GPSBabel development by sharing
his knowledge of Mapsource. Thanx, Ian!

GeoConv is a Windows coordinate conversion program that converts between
different coordinate file formats, coordinate types, and
datums.
